Each trading day provides a whole chapter in potential learning experience and lessons in trade entry and management. But sometimes it just teaches you humility that the the methods and models you use don't call every turn. Today, after yesterday's capture of some nice swooning excursions, I went again hunting for Rhino. ....only to come home having only bagged a few squirrels. And to prove me wanting not only in method but in patience, the market offered me the expected entry model minutes after I had left the screen near the end of the 1st Frame, having quit for the day. In trading, it's usually the missed profits that bother you the most, far more even than any losses accrued. Stay patient. Wait out the frame. It doesn't matter if the market turns or breaks out without you if those entries were not in your Trade Plan. What matters only is that you stick to your Plan. ...and a good weekend to all....
